Lesson Five – Crew Names

This computing teaching pack for Key Stage One gets the children to explain and model how to change the size and type of fonts when typing the matching names of crew members who can work in different jobs onboard a ship or boat.
The class can select the best font name and style to use on a name label so that is clear and readable for other members of the crew and visitors to the vessel.
